The glacier is melting due to record temperatures
From the largest of the remaining Arctic ice shelves in the region, a huge chunk of ice broke, which broke into several icebergs. The glacier plays an important role in regulating the Arctic climate around Greenland.
In Greenland, about 110 square kilometers of ice has broken off the largest ice shelf in the Arctic. This, according to scientists, speaks of very rapid climate changes, reports The Week.
According to a specialist from the German University of Erlangen-Nuremberg Jenny Turton, in Greenland over the last 40 years the air temperature has risen by three degrees Celsius. And in the past and this year, record temperatures were recorded.
Glacier 79N, divided into small parts, was covered in deep crevasses in 2019. The hot summer of 2020 made things worse.

Before that, we wrote that the Earth’s climate will never be the same again. The planet has passed the point of no return, when global warming could still stop.
It was also reported that in the mountains of Italy, the glacier is covered with a tarp so that it does not melt. It has lost more than a third of its volume since 1993.
